In versions prior to 3.26.0, when a container image is malformed or contains no layers, containerd falls back to bind-mounting an empty snapshotter directory for the container rootfs. When the Kata runtime attempts to mount the container rootfs, the bind mount causes the rootfs to be detected as a block device, leading to the underlying device being hotplugged to the guest. This can cause filesystem-level errors on the host due to double inode allocation, and may lead to the host&#8217;s block device being mounted as read-only. Version 3.26.0 contains a patch for the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Severity: 8.8 | HIGH<\/p>\n<p>Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more&#8230;\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CVE ID : CVE-2026-24054 Published : Jan. 29, 2026, 6:16 p.m. | 53\u00a0minutes ago Description : Kata Containers is an open source project focusing on a standard implementation of lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs) that perform like containers.
